Hello,
First of all sorry for my English, I had a Kindle fire since few days. I try to root it to put ICS on it. That's the only one reason for what I bought it .
I tryed to follow this video ( ww w. youtube. com/watch?v=mwMHIkX20YI ) but I was stuck on the kindle fire boot screen for many minutes after the downloading step on the step number 2. The download was completed but the window always say " waiting for device ". After a while I unpluged it and now I'm stuck on the boot screen and KFU say " offline " for the status.
Right now I'm trying to drain down the battery but can you give me a solution for my problem .
Thanks.
Draining your battery is one of the worst things you can do a this point.
Read this
It will give you some insight as to what's going on.
Thanks for your fast response, I already read all of this topic yeasterday before starting the rooting. I think that I must use ABD to type command line to change my boot mode to a normal boot mode but I really don't know how to do this and I can't find a topic about that.
Sorry for my stupid question but I'm little confusing about all of this.

It's much more likely that you will have to use fastboot to change bootmodes. The 3rd post in the thread soupmagnet referred you to will have both the adb and fastboot commands to change bootmodes.
In fact I really don't understand where I need to put the command line .
And wich one put .
Shift + right click your KFU "tools" folder and select "Open Command Window Here"
[Edit:] You might need to make sure your drivers are in order as well...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2
I think all the ****ing problem come because the drivers are not installed well.
Sometimes my windows recognize the kindle as " unknown " peripheric and sometimes it didn't recognize it yet.
I try to re install the drivers but it just take half a second to re install and it's seem that's a fake installation.
The problem is that I have the kindle as " unkonw " in device manager but when I try to install the driver with the explication in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20421225&postcount=222 , I didn't find the android driver...
Up .
Up as in you got it fixed?

It's really complicated for me to install Linux because I already have bootcamp with Windows on my MacBook, I think I will go to Best Buy and ask for another Kindle Fire because this one don't want start up...
WTF?! You have a Mac? Why are you even messing with Windows in the first place? Get breakdroid and fix it easily.
BreakDroid doesn't work at all it always be on offline status, I have a MacBook pro with Lion and Windows 8.
If there is a solution with BreakDroid I can't find it, that's starting drive me crazy .
Update : I got the error " device not found " what ever I try on BreakDroid.
Update 2 : Wao I just try with now hope the kindlewater in the DMG and I'm now on the TWRP. I don't now whats happened but...
Great...will it let you mount your sdcard?
I have rooted my Kindle, after I have boot with normal mode, put the zip on sd card and flash it with success .
Thanks .

I posted this in another thread earlier today, but it applies just as well in your situation.
soupmagnet said:
Troubleshooting Kindle Fire problems without having access to it can be difficult at times. Not only does one have to try and figure out the root of the problem, but one also has to try and disseminate what is actually happening from what is perceived to be happening by the person who needs the help. It only adds to the confusion when that person jumps into another thread in the middle of someone else's problem.
If you have a problem, and you've searched the forums as best as you can, and you've read all the guides available, yet you still can't find an answer to your problem, start a new thread. In that thread, describe what you understand and what you don't understand about your problem, how your problem started, what steps you have taken to try and solve your problem along with any errors you received (exactly as you received them), and any additional problems that arose as a result. Be sure to include important information like everything the device does from the moment you press the power button to turn it on. Also, describe in detail, the boot logo and recovery screens, specifically their overall appearance (color is key).

This will reset your kindle to its original factory settings. you will need to re-register your kindle prior to downloading items from your Amazon account.

first of all thanks for the excellent rom.since im just trying out this new rom,im intending to change my rom back to modaco gr8 after trying out for some time.
But here's the trouble here.i always can't seem to access twrp through my kf.Each time what i did was i connect my device with USB to the pc and use kfu to reflash twrp to gain access.
But now with this gederom,my pc can't seems to detect my kf and it keeps saying driver is needed.
So what can i do now to once again gain access to twrp??

The "yellow triangle" logo is the FireFireFire bootloader (version 1.2). The "kindle fire" logo with android is also the FireFireFire bootloader (version 1.3). Recovery selection for both versions is the same, only the time span given for you to make the selection has been reduced in v1.3. My guess is that you are not pressing the power button at the right time to make the selection.
This is the thread for FFF v1.3...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541043
In the first post, it gives you directions on how to make the recovery selection...
Recovery Selection - As the Kindle Fire boots up, the power button LED will change from bright green to a dim green. Once it changes to a dim green, press the power button again and release (repeat a few times to be sure). The LED will then change to an orange color indicating recovery selection and boot into recovery.
Personally, I keep my fingernail on the button and as soon as the reflection goes dim, I press/release several times. If you want to be absolutely sure, keep pressing/releasing until the LED goes orange. This always works for me without fail. If the LED goes orange and it doesn't get to recovery, something is wrong with your recovery.
As far as gedeROM goes, look in the notification area and make sure it says "Android debugging enabled" when you have it hooked up to your computer. If you still can't send it adb commands, then it's likely a device driver issue. Read the second post of the first link soupmagnet gave you.

That is a very important piece of information that would have been useful from the beginning. There is no reason for the new version of FireFireFire (Kindle fire logo w/android) to work any differently from the old one (yellow triangle) in regards to entering recovery.
Try reinstalling FireFireFire to see if that fixes the problem.

Try fastboot mode in KFU. Option 1, when it show <waiting for device> then connect the KF, hold down the power button untill it shut down, and hold button again to turn it on.
If you can somehow get to fastboot, try flash TWRP again.
Sine you can get in to FFF, I strongly believe that it's still alive.

I think you need to go in to device manager and uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers . Try it out
i tried using kfu and use fastboot.but can't detect.
since gedeROM design to change our kf into galaxy tab,can i manually change and allows the pc to detect my kf as a kindle fire?Then probably i would have access to kfu.
btw i tried pressing the button but still couldn't access twrp through device.
You're in a pretty tricky spot. Apparently, the way GedeROM was set up, it is causing problems with adb connecting. But it all boils down to a driver issue. You need to somehow get into twrp to flash a different rom and see if it is the rom causing your original problem. But without access to recovery or USB debugging, I can't think of anything that will help you.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling your device drivers until you can get a connection long enough to change your bootmode to 5001 in order to get back into recovery.
You need to be able to get a solid connection with adb and fastboot to further troubleshoot your problem and it looks like you can't do that with the rom you're using.

I have the same problem, loaded GedeROM got in fatboot, and now I am stuck.
okay.somehow i've managed to get USB mass storage working.But KFU still shows offline.
But then i found out if i ask the kfu to help me boot to recovery it may still works.But can i do this and get to recovery and flash back my modaco?
Or should i manually flash my twrp again?
Flash MoDaCo to see if that helps. If not, reflash twrp. If not still, reflash firefirefire.
very nervous...i flash twrp again and i get to boot into recovery.omg....now im restoring into my modaco backup...hope it works.
Btw my kfu status is now 'online'
thanks so much soupmagnet!
But what if my kf still can't access twrp,should i do everything from the start manually?

ADB Not Working After GedeROM
I've been using the 28-04-2012 GedeROM all weekend, and it works fine, but I still haven't been able to get ADB working. I checked Android Debugging under Developer Options. On my PC, the KF only shows up in my Device Manager as a Disk Drive with the designation "Am", not as an ADB device, and the ADB Devices command doesn't show any devices attached. My computer thinks its an empty disk drive (no data). I have a regular Windows x86 PC. I try and try but I can't re-install any other driver to get the PC to recognize it.
Funny thing-- I tried recovering my stock system and data from TWRP (after factory wiping GedeROM), and it didn't work, I just get a dim lit screen on reboot. GedeROM re-installed ok, so I'm not too upset, just wondering why I can't go back.
I searched around on the lists but didn't see any idea that worked. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks- Roger

ADB on GedeROM
Thanks for the advice Kinfauns, I'll read your article and try to reinstall the drivers again tonight. I did try over the weekend, checked the drivers, made sure they didn't change somehow, but the system wouldn't accept the drivers-- either "not better than what is already installed", or "can't find any drivers". My PC seems to recognize the KF as a disk drive, not as an ADB or Android device, so it's like the PC isn't even looking for my driver to be a suitable driver for the "Am" disk drive.
Thanks for your help!

Hello! I get myself in a huge mess! and now I dont know what to do, I've been looking for a lot of solutions here but I cant fix my Kindle Fire...
I tried to rooted it but it didnt work and now it my pc says that the Device is not recognize, and the screen just show the Kindle Fire Logo...
It's been like that for a while... I'm ok with just the normal Kindle, without the rooting stuff v.v just need to make it work! please heeeelp
Help us help you...
What exactly did you do? (not just "tried to root and it didn't work") Did you install TWRP or FFF?
I don't see why your computer would say the device isn't recognized, when it shouldn't even show it at all (as it's stuck booting).
Sounds like your stuck in fast boot or something got erased or changed from the stock system.
Happened to me more than I care to admitted early on.
Try the app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
It'll should be easier than using terminal. I haven't personally tried it.
It you have fastboot working > fastboot -i 0x1949 bootmode 4000 then fastboot reboot might get you on track quickly. If using Linux you need to be su, not sure if windows cmd needs administrative rights.
Good luck and report back.
Ok, the thing is that I unplug the Kindle probably before I should, I'm not quite sure :S! But the computer dont recognize the Kindle, though it does recognize it as ADB Android Phone sometimes...
I tried to install the driver manually but it didnt work, when I run the Utility is still offline... and I cant see the Kindle in "my PC" either...
I tried ti the thing with the Device manager, but it doesnt show anywhere the Kindle devices... so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong! but the thing is I dont Have any Idea :'(

I have a Kindle fire 1st generation, I rooted it but i didn't install any ROMs or android operating system. I got this app called rom toolbox and I deleted the kindle operating system now when I turn on my Kindle it has the stock bootlogo and it stays that way. I've read and read and read and I've come to the conclusion that my device is doing exactly what it should, running the bootloader and waiting for some operating system to take over. I didn't have TWRP installed, and I didnt use KFU to root my device I used this app called Key Root Master (VER 1.3.6), and in every thread the person used KFU or TWRP so I dont know what do please help me.
Ok, so let me preface this by apologizing if somehow the answer to my question is already lurking in the forums. I promise I have been looking for the better part of 3 hours and trying to figure this out on my own. My pride now hurts, and I have a headache. Please help me.
I was attempting to root my kindle fire, and put a custom rom onto it after getting jealous of my sister in law's samsung galaxy tab. I had previously done this back in april, but I decided to go back to the regular stock kindle fire (I think because netflix still wouldn't work otherwise at the time). I went to attempt and do basically exactly what I did in april with the newest version of KFU I could find here on xda, and attempted to install hash's jelly bean rom and gapps on it. I had made a back up restore point, but when I wiped stuff to get it all fresh, I must have wiped the restore. I couldn't get the jelly bean rom to work, it just stayed at the millions of triangles loading screen literally for like 30 minutes before I gave up. I decided to just go back to stock and forget about it. After putting the update.zip on the kindle and flashing it with TWRP, it boots up and just stays at the kindle fire logo, flashing every once in a while. When connected to KFU the ADB says online, but boot type says unknown. I tried to go into the boot type and tell it to go into different boot modes, and nothing changes. It just stays at the kindle fire loading screen, taunting me, laughing at me. I'm assuming that now my internal memory and SD card memory are both completely wiped and it's just got a bootloader or something and nothing else is there so it's in eternal start up mode with nothing to start up? I don't really know, and won't pretend to. I've taken a college level c++ intro to programming class (just finished it last week with an A-) and I've been a computer nerd for most of my life, so I'm not a toooootal noob, but I really have no experience with linux or anything other than playing around with ubuntu for like 4 days over the summer a few months ago. I'm currently downloading it and going to attempt to put it on a usb stick and boot into that so I can try and use soups application to see if that will help me, but I'm not even sure if that's what I need, and frankly I'm horrified to try and use linux for fear of screwing things up even more.
If my Kindle Fire is screwed, it's ok I suppose, but if there's a way I can fix it, I'd love to know.
Sorry for the wall of text, and thank you for any help that is offered. I'm almost to tears from the frustration and headache this has caused me, and you are much appreciated just for reading.
Cheers.

Nope, I'm pretty sure it wiped out anything I had when I tried to restore it to factory. I can no longer access TWRS and I have no FFF installed it seems. I literally can turn the kindle on, watch it sit at the kindle fire screen, and turn it off once that starts pissing me off. no amount of holding the power button or pushing it different ways gets me into TWRS or anything.

I've uploaded a screen shot of my device manager and in "devices and printers"
as you can see, it shows up as a kindle in devices and printers, and as an android phone in the device manager.
I also uploaded "My Computer" so you can see there is no access to it from there.
Okay.
See if you can issue fastboot or adb commands through command prompt. Navigate to your .android folder and type fastboot devices and adb devices and tell me what shows up.

I'll be honest, I'm not too good with command prompt... Is the .android folder going to be on the Kindle itself? once i get in that directory do I literally just type "fastboot devices" and "adb devies" or is there a command associated with that?

should be in C:\Username\.android if its not there you can copy the files over from KFU. Its in the tools folder of KFU so you can just point command prompt there and then issue the command.

I cant see the picture, but you need to cd to the files.
ex "cd C"\Users\Jimmy\Desktop\KFU\tools\" then issue the commands.

Ok, nothing happened with I typed fastboot devices, but when I did adb devices it said
*daemon not running. starting it now*
*daemon started successfully*
List of devices attached

You could try my prefab ISO soupkit is already ran on it and it has teamviewer installed for assistance measures you can find it here post 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413358 but what I think you will need is a factory cable found here ultimately post 9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392693 . The system is trying to run that's why it comes up android composite adb interface, its busy trying to handle the data that you failed to wipe prior to flashing jelly bean and then stock. You could also see if if will allow you to send twrp and fff back to the device with kfu then enter recovery wipe and reflash another ROM.
Okay we need to get it to boot into fastboot. Change the bootmode to fastboot in kfu so we can push recovery/fff

It's totally fixable.
Thepooch is right. My brother had the same problem with his son's. Just get into fastboot and flash a bootloader and twrp and youre set

Also I didn't want you to think I ignored your post. I just finished making the usb drive with ubuntu on it and was going to attempt your solution in the other thread if whatever we were trying here doesn't work.
I appreciate y'alls help very much.

Ok I loaded KFU and told went and told it to boot in fastboot, it said that it told the device to do it, but it still says Boot Status: Unknown.
Is this a problem or do we know that it's booting in fastmode now? I'm just not sure how to tell if it was successful since it's not giving me the code.
(Ps - I originally posted this before my previous post thanking you guys, but then came back to this window to see that I had screwed up the Captcha, but it wouldn't let me post for 5 more minutes since I'm a new user. Sorry for the wait.)
Its very common for the boot mode to be unknown in fast boot. Try to send twrp with kfu if it says waiting for device for a long time simply power it off while connected then back on it should then pick up and send twrp. If need be do the same thing with the bootloader just wait longer a failed bootloader flash is far worse than the situation your in.

ADB is connected, therefore you are not in fastboot. The Kindle Fire logo you see is actually the stock boot animation. The difference is whether or not it changes in brightness at any point (obviously it does).
You need access to recovery to fix your problem and you need the ability to change bootmodes to get into recovery. Without a working shell you need access to fastboot to change bootmodes.
Unfortunately, in many situations like yours, there is no working shell to change the bootmode. To confirm this, try to launch the shell by entering "adb shell", respectively.
If you receive an error, your only options are to get a factory cable (recommended) or open the device so you can put it in USBboot via the shorting trick and the use of Firekit (not so recommended).
With access to fastboot, you can change your bootmode to recovery or reinstall a custom recovery if necessary. In recovery, the "fix" is as simple as reinstalling a ROM.

Hi. I am really in a jam here. I have read a lot of documentation and still am not getting anywhere. I bought my sister a Kindle Fire for her birthday, and after reading the Kindle Fire for Beginner's Guide, I was able to successfully install Cyanogenmod 10.1 It was working fine, but I gave it some thought and decided she would be better off with the stock software, so I followed the instructions here to revert.
However, somewhere in that process I bricked the device. I went through the installing the Amazon software again in TWRP and told the device to reboot, but it is now stuck on the boot screen and will not respond to adb commands I send it.
I used the Kindle Fire Utility to install TWRP again, and it said it was successfully installed. I tried to boot into it through the Kindle Fire Utility menu, but it is still stuck.
It just so happens that I have a fastboot cable for this, so I plugged it in and tried to boot into recovery by issuing
C:\kfu\tools>fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
It just says:
<waiting for device>
and nothing happens.
I don't know what else to do. I do think this factory cable put me in fastboot mode because the Windows device manager is showing "Android ADB Interface" (which according to Kindle Fire for Beginners is what it is supposed to say if the drivers are good and I am in fastboot mode), but I do not know how else to make use of this.
I am really stuck here, and I hope someone will take the time to help. My sister's birthday is in two days and I need to get this Kindle fixed and in the mail

OK. So lets cover the basics.

Once that is done, reboot into recovery and wipe every things. (sorry, we're going to start you from fresh start)
I'm going to suggest you try to install this ROM

Thank you for your reply! I ran the Kindle Fire unbrick tool with the option "Stuck at logo," and it said "Congratulations, your Kindle should be unbricked. However, nothing had changed. So I ran it with the option "Other . . ." It said:
Code:
error: device not found
error: device not found

< waiting for device >
I have left it like that for ten minutes now and nothing is happening. Do you think it is working? I'll leave it alone for an hour or so I guess but I'm wondering.
BTW, for this I just used a regular USB cable and not the factory one. Is that right?
Thanks!

The unbrick program didn't work. It just stayed there t <waiting for device>. How can I use the fastboot cable to fix it?
Thanks.
I had the same problem before. It always says no device found. I tried different PC, finally in my XP PC it is detected and new ROM flashed in
Maybe you should try different PC

I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately I don't have another PC running Windows. All my others are running Linux, and I don't know how to get the drivers working.
I think I will borrow a laptop from a friend tomorrow and see if it works. It is my sister's 17th birthday today and her present is late!
In the meantime, though, does anyone know how I am supposed to use this fastboot cable? I have looked around and I see a lot of tutorials about how to unbrick without a fastboot cable, but none saying how to do it WITH one. I thought the cable was supposed to make it easier?
Thanks for the help.

First of all, Happy Birthday to your sister!
I think you may need install the firefirefire utility first to help you out of bootmode sucking. After you successfully reinstall the TWRP using unbrick utility, you need change the fastboot mode to normal boot, the firefirefire can help you choose,

I'd say you didn't read the previous posts.
Well, now the Kindle Fire is no longer being recognized by my computers. I borrowed another Windows computer like I said I would, but when I plug in the Kindle, the Device Manger does not even register it. Also, usually when I plug it in, the computer will realize I have plugged in a usb device and respond with that little pop up at the task bar, i.e. to let me know it sees a usb device and is trying to install driver, was not able to install drivers, or whatever. But now nothing. The computer doesn't even see it.
I have tried it on two different computers with three different cables and it's the same thing. I have restarted the computer and reinstalled the drivers over and over again and there is no difference. What is going on? It was seeing the Kindle fine before I tried the Unbricking Utility.

I'm assuming you know for sure this was a 1st Generation Kindle, right?
I had this problem once and basically formatted my computer. The driver was the issue and I couldn't uninstall it completely. Using my drivers solved this. I get the feeling you're still trying to use the drivers that came with the utility (don't they're often trouble)
However, assuming you are using the correct drivers (the ones I linked for you).... Boot into TWRP and wipe everything. Don't just use the general, click the advance options and wipe everything (selecting all options manually).
No connect your Kindle and don't worry about it not showing up yet....
Mount your SSD (should suddenly find your kindle) and upload this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211872
Now if you can't even load TWRP (when you turn on the Kindle, you'll need to hold the power button to bring up the menu, then quickly hit it a few times until its on recovery).... But if you can't load TWRP at all, its time to get a factory cable.
If you have a factory cable and still can't find the device (and assuming you're using the right drivers, on a fresh install) .... As someone else who knows how to do this. Because past that, all hope is lost.

Hi, My name i Jonah and i have a Kindle fire (5th generation) That came stock with Amazon's Fire OS Bellini 5.1.1. I tried to flash Cm12 with the app FlashFire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaCBSuUuhRE&spfreload=10) and during the installation i noticed it stopped for a while and didnt do anything. So i waited then 10 minutes later i decided to turn it off and turn it back on to fix it, when it started to boot up it showed the Cm logo just like as if it was running Cm12. So i waited, maybe 5 min at the most and it still would not turn on. So i turned it off, went online to see ho to get out of a bootloop. Rootjunky said to Turn your Kindle off and run ADB and Fastboot as a command from where you installed your drivers. Then he said he said to enter Recovery mode by pressing vol down and the power button. It is suppose'd to say Recovery-Mode in the corner but it just kept showing the Amazon logo. Im worried i screwed up and broke my new tablet, i can't return it because it's against Amazon's policy to root or mod any content of Amazon's, Plus ADB isn't working i can only access fastboot. I tried fixing it with the stock charger also but how do i know what kind of Android charger should i use?
